The families were taken to the Velodrome D'Hiver, a cycling stadium near the Eiffel Tower, or an internment camp set up just outside the capital at Drancy.

They were then deported by train, mostly to Auschwitz concentration camp. Fewer than 100 people survived.

What was interesting about Mr Macron's comments on the tragedy?

The episode remains controversial in France. Marine Le Pen, Mr Macron's far-right opponent in this year's election, drew strong criticism on 9 April when she suggested France was not responsible for the tragedy.

On Sunday Mr Netanyahu said he would like to see greater cooperation between the two countries and "expressed his concerns about the Iranian regime".

At a joint news conference, Mr Macron assured his visitor of his "vigilance" regarding the nuclear accord reached by Western powers with Iran in 2015.

Calling for a resumption of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, he reiterated France's support for a two-state solution and opposition to Israel's building of settlements in occupied territory.

What's happening in the Israel-Palestinian conflict?

The meeting with Mr Netanyahu comes amid concerns of another increase in violence.

Two Israeli policemen were killed and a third wounded by three Israeli Arabs in a gun attack close to the compound in Jerusalem known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif on Friday. The attackers were later killed by security forces.

The holy site was closed after shooting but it reopened on Sunday.

Israel and the Palestinians have not held peace talks for three years.
